Today is day 3 of the Magic series where we focus on rela­tion­ships. Rela­tion­ships are very impor­tant as we are always inter­act­ing with oth­ers and how we relate and receive one another is cru­cial to our daily lives and over­all health. This chap­ter deals with how our words or even thoughts can have a neg­a­tive impact on our rela­tion­ships. For every one com­plaint or neg­a­tive com­ment, you need ten pos­i­tive bless­ings for each rela­tion­ship to survive. Ever been around some­one who bad mouths their mate con­stantly? Or seems unap­pre­cia­tive of them? How toxic is that and are they still together? Do you have a friend that you are con­stantly com­plain­ing about or say things that are neg­a­tive and crit­i­cal about? Do you know that those words actu­ally harm you and come back to you? Accord­ing to the book a sci­en­tific research was done on peo­ple who prac­tice grat­i­tude tend to have more reward­ing rela­tion­ships, are closer and more con­nected and have a more favor­able appear­ance to oth­ers. So learn­ing to love one another just as they are and not on how we think that they should be. Wouldn’t that be a great world if we all learned to love and accept one another, with­out any con­di­tions? The Brid­get Jones movie where he said he loved her ” just as you are” is price­less and so true. This les­son teaches us the value of pos­i­tive love and respect for not only one another but also ourselves.Below is the Magic Prac­tice Les­son for Day 3– Mag­i­cal Relationships: 1.) Repeat the steps 1–3 of Magic Prac­tice 1– Count Your blessings. Make a list of ten bless­ings and write “why” you are grate­ful for each one. Say them out load and at the end of each sen­tence say the magic words thank you, thank you, thank you and feel grate­ful for each one. 2.) Choose 3 of your clos­est rela­tion­ships and col­lect a pho­to­graph of each one. 3.) With the photo in front of you, write down five things that you are most grate­ful for each per­son. 4.)

Wel­come back to day 2 of the Magic by Rhonda Byrne. Yes­ter­day we started our journey out by list­ing the top ten bless­ings that we are grate­ful for. Today we are start­ing another mag­i­cal prac­tice called the Magic Rock. Today’s les­son cen­ters around the belief that any­thing that helps remind you to be grate­ful is help­ing to turn your life into “gold“ with grat­i­tude. So that is why the Magic Rock works and is an easy way to incor­po­rate on a daily basis. It does take a very con­cen­trated effort to estab­lish a good habit of grat­i­tude on a reg­u­lar basis so this prac­tice comes into play for that very rea­son. Every time you asso­ciate an object with a mem­ory or task it helps to trig­ger mem­o­ries of that object or meaning.Magic Prac­tice for Day 2– The Magic Rock 1.) Repeat steps one to three of Magic Prac­tice Num­ber 1– count your bless­ings. Make a list of ten bless­ing that you are grate­ful for.

I attended a personality development training a few days back by one of the top earners of a wellness company I am a distributor of. She recommended to read "The Magic" by Rhonda Byrne and apply its plan for 28 days. This has worked well for her, as well as others who have applied what is taught on this book.

Today I am embark­ing on a new and excit­ing jour­ney of self-awareness. I am start­ing the 28 day pro­gram called “The Magic” by Rhonda Byrne. Rhonda is one of the founders of the book the Secret and has writ­ten a new book called the Magic. The Magic is based on the prin­ci­ple of grat­i­tude and how if you are not thank­ful for what you have or have received in the past, you will not be able to receive in your future. I strongly believe that all things are created by God for you and me to use and and enjoy and it is just right to be thank­ful and grate­ful for ALL bless­ings we receive. So many times we take things for granted in our lives and then when it is gone real­ize too late what we had. After attending that training, I realized that I still have so many things to develop in me. So I decided that this was the per­fect time in my life to start a pos­i­tive jour­ney of self-reflection and to man­i­fest pos­i­tive grat­i­tude into my life. I will be chron­i­cling the 28 day process here on my blog as well as shar­ing the daily lessons with you. Join me if you would like to man­i­fest hap­pi­ness, grat­i­tude and abun­dance into your life. This pro­gram is designed to be over 28 con­sec­u­tive days and has prac­tices that are either morn­ing, after­noon or night. If you do not want to do all 28 you can pick and choose one but do it three days or an entire week for a full effect of the magic. So with­out fur­ther ado here is magic prac­tice for day 1, Count Your Blessings.Mag­i­cal Prac­tice Day 1-Count Your Blessings 1.) First thing in the morn­ing make a list of ten bless­ings in your life that you are grate­ful for. 2.) Write why you are grate­ful for each blessing. 3.) Go back and read your list, either in your mind or out loud. When you are done say­ing them out loud, at the end of each one say the magic words Thank You three times. Make sure you reflect and feel the grat­i­tude for each bless­ing. Repeat for each one of the blessings. 4.) Repeat the first three steps of this mag­i­cal prac­tice every morn­ing for the next 27 days. 5.) Read tomorrow’s mag­i­cal prac­tice today.
